Research & Collections

Fernbank has an active research program focused on Georgia archaeology that has grown to encompass ecology and geology—an apt combination of the core sciences found in our natural history museum. Fernbank's collections also reflect core natural history topics with key holdings in archaeology, geology, cultural anthropology, paleontology, malacology and taxidermy.
